Edmund Andros was appointed by King James II of England in 1686 to serve as the governor of the Dominion of New England. The Dominion was created to consolidate several northern colonies under a single administration, and Andros was chosen for his loyalty to the crown and his experience in colonial governance. His tenure was marked by unpopular policies, leading to significant unrest and ultimately his removal after the Glorious Revolution in 1688.
